Shutters by the Sea is one of the nicest and most sought after rental homes in Seagrove Beach. Our Spring, Spring Break, and Summer season always sell out early. That’s because Shutters is perfectly located, decorated, and maintained, and over half our guests make a reservation for next year as soon as they leave. Please check the availability calendar, and then give us a call. You will not find a better home for the price on 30-A. Below are a couple quotes I have received in emails from recent guests.
We really enjoyed our week -- beautiful home, comfortably and thoroughly furnished, perfect location with respect to both the beach and the towns.

We just wanted to let you know that we LOVED our vacation at Shutters. It was just perfect. We went from pool to beach to pool back to beach! Location was really nice and we had perfect weather. The
atmosphere at Shutters could not be better. It is charming as well as comfortable. The decor is wonderfully tasteful - you don't miss a beat. Every thing you needed for cooking grilling and relaxing was provided. One can see the personal pride and love you have for your special place. Enjoyed meeting your family through your pictures. Thank you again for sharing your gem of a beach house. We will recommend it to friends as well as make a swift return as soon as we get the dates squared away. Everyone was giddily and only too sad to leave.

Enjoy a relaxing, sun filled vacation at "Shutters by the Sea." Our beautiful, four plus bedroom house is located just one half mile from the charming town of Seaside Florida.
"Shutters" boasts all the style and architectural detail of a Seaside home, for about half the price.
The main house has three bedrooms plus a third floor tower room with futon. The Guest House is a very spacious, yet private residence with bed and bathroom, living room and morning kitchen. In all, you’ll enjoy over 3300 square feet of interior living space and 2200 square feet of wrap-around porches and patios. All beautifully landscaped with indigenous plantings, swaying palm trees, and your very own 20 foot x 20 foot private heated pool. Best of all, you’re just 100 yards from the sugary white beaches, and turquoise blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Start your day with a cup of coffee on the tower balcony over-looking the ocean. Then head out on the 18 mile bike trail just across the street, or walk the beach to Seaside, bringing back delicious muffins for the entire family. They’ll tumble out of bed with smiles on their faces from their spacious and beautifully decorated bedrooms, each with its own full bath. Every bedroom opens out to one of the many exterior porches.
The grandparents, or another couple, will love their private guesthouse with side stairway entrance to the pool deck and wraparound walkway to the main house. This separate house is designed in soothing shades of sage green and off-white and includes a TV/VCR in the living room, wet-bar, microwave, refrigerator, and coffee pot
in the morning kitchen.
The large master suite in the main house is a Pottery Barn-inspired design in periwinkle blue and white, and includes an armoire with TV, and a large bath with spa tub for two, and separate shower. French doors lead you out to your own porch with ocean view and Adirondack chairs.
Just down the hall, past the linen and laundry room, is another second floor master suite - a charming mix of wicker and distressed white wood against kiwi green walls. This includes a large bath and shower and again, French doors leading to the wrap-around porch. The first floor bedroom includes two twin beds, a full bath, French doors to the porch, and connects to the wide-open Tuscan yellow main living area.
Enjoy cooking in the gourmet kitchen, with generous breakfast island and an antique pine dining table that seats up to ten. This home was once featured in a house walk and you’ll see it in the decorating details of the inviting and comfortable living room, charming furnishings, and artwork. Outside on the deck, you and the kids will enjoy the private pool which, unlike many of the community pools in the area, is heated to a comfortable 85 degrees in the spring and fall.
Complete your day with a family dinner inside or poolside, cooked up on the gourmet outdoor gas grill. Afterwards, you can head to the tower room with full futon-sofa, TV/VCR, wet bar and refrigerator, and a separate game table for puzzles or fun activities.
Or step out on the third floor tower balcony to enjoy the sunset and gentle sea breezes over-looking the Gulf of Mexico.
Later the whole family may want to bike ride over to Seaside for a twice-weekly concert and some ice cream. "Shutters by the Sea" has such a relaxing atmosphere
The only decision you’ll have to make is whether to spend the day at the beach, or pool, or golf course, or shopping, or bicycling, or hiking, or just taking a nap!

As much as we encourage our guest to come to this web site and add a comment, so far none have responded. We DO have a guest book in our house which many, many people have signed and judging by their comments they have throughly enjoyed staying at Shutters by the Sea. Below I have transcribed some of our Guestbook comments and enterred them here. If you would like to view scans of our actual guestbook and see these same comments in the handwriting of the people who enterred them, please go to shuttersbythesea(.)com, and click on the Guests link. Thanks you for looking at Shutters. Michael Mason

Dear Mason Family, We had such a wonderful vacation at Shutters by the Sea. The beautiful home was a palace for the children and a fabulous place to relax for the adults. The upper floor became the arts and crafts and watercolor studio for Tia Julie, and for our boys it was the TV room. My husband had burgers on the grill and a Patsy Cline CD playin’ and I agreed when he said “It doesn’t get much better than this!” We had a fantastic time – Thanks for sharing your home.

Dear Masons. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with others. It provided a wonderful haven and “home away from home” for our family of three generations. Our stay at Shutters exceeded all expectations! Everyone from the old to the young had plenty of space and lots to do!

As we end our 5th Spring Break in the Seaside/Seagrove Beach area, we all agree that Shutters by the Sea is our favorite house! What a joy it must be to you. A beautiful place perfectly equipped which made 3 stressed out moms and 7 teenagers relaxed and refreshed. Millie Clarston Pat McDonald Joyce Wolf Montgomery, AL.
